... you are going to have to take a century or two of snark from us atheists. Like this:

Via MarketSci blog, Eric Rosenfeld talks about the collapse of LTCM at MIT. Funny I can't find in any MIT literature an advertisement for the fact that 2/3s of LTCM had MIT roots? (Caltech, snarky snark snark)
Not to reopen raw wounds, but reposting my talk from Netroots Nation reminded me of two other sessions I attended, both on the theme of snark and satire.
Last night we went to see the new Batman movie. After attempting to see it at Paul Allen's Cinerama (it was sold out), we headed down to the standard mall theater in downtown Seattle to view said film. Verdit for me: meh.
Another useful concept in simple graph theory is *contraction* and its result, *minors*
of graphs. The idea is that there are several ways of simplifying a graph in order to study
Well, that was funny enough, alright, but National Banana needs to get a new announcer. Who the hell says 'bah-nahn-ahh'? It's 'bu-nan-uhh', dammit! Each of the three A's, all in the same context, must have a different sound, or it wouldn't be the 'merikan language, would it? Mustn't make it too easy for all them foreigners to pick up our lingo.
Too low class. I didn't find it funny either.
Well, I thought it was somewhat funny. Though obviously we do need to work with the material some more.
There's a catholic church about a mile from my home : St William the Abbot. Whenever I pass it I read the sign as St William the Paedophile.
What's funny is that the video is from March 2008, way before the current sex abuse scandal. Before that it was the Boston Archdiocese scandal and nobody cared. Before that it was condoms in Africa and nobody cared. etc.
"Too low class. I didn't find it funny either."
Hey man, why don't you tell the child fucking priests they are low class instead complaining about a spot on video?
You want low class - check out the present pope and his no behind left policies.
@peter: Hehehe - no behind left. Need I mention how the priests go to m'ass on Sundays?
A side note here: The mass media is unanimous in declaring Joseph Ratzinger as immune from prosecution due to his position as head of state.
Saddam Hussein was head of state, and look what happened to him.
Nations around the world should be rushing to prosecute these monsters for their crimes.
Spread the word.
I wonder if we should invade? We can send in weapons of mass destruction.
WTFWJD, I don't think being the head of state makes you immune from prosecution for conspiracy to global child rape, either, but I wouldn't use the illegal occupation of Iraq, the wanton slaughter of the Iraqi people, and the deposing of Saddam Hussein for the 'crime' of not surrendering his country's oil to American corporations as an example of prosecuting criminals.
There's also Manuel Noriega, Slobodan Milosevich, and Augusto Pinochet just off the top of my head. Pinochet was long out of office when proceedings started - problematical for trying a pope as he is in office for life - but if you go back far enough I'm sure precedent could be found for trying and even hanging dead defendants.
Wikipedia has a short writeup on immunity from prosecution, suggests that immunity isn't as absolute as it used to be.
Also, all or most of the Pope's actions which might be construed as criminal conspiracy occurred before he was head of state, although was acting on behalf of the state.
Plus, Vatican is not really a separate country.
Even dead popes can be tried. There is an example set by the Chruch itself; the cadaver synod.
Actually, Irene, it really is.
